  • For this video, I'll be making the world's first real diamond water.
    To do this, I'll be burning diamonds, which are nearly pure carbon (and definitely not "forever"), to make diamond CO2 gas and then using that CO2 to make extremely expensive carbonate water.

      Nugget That’s not how it works if CO2 is cooled down it’s going to become ice made of CO2 not diamonds. Diamonds are made in the mantle where it’s 2000 F or 1100 C and the pressure is very high.
      So to make diamonds you need lots of heat and pressure not cooling down CO2. You really make no sense, and you shouldn’t talk about something you don’t know

    When you tap holes, back up when you start encountering a lot of resistance, this allows the chips to be freed up and move out of the way and I to the flutes so they’re not causing additional resistance to the cutting edges of the tap.

      Exactly!! To convince men to spend a months wages on diamonds for their girls!! People are fucking stupid tho and they LOVE it when corporations and others tell them what to do, what to buy, when to buy it, then they steal 35 percent of our yearly income through illegal taxation, charge us for tabs on our cars at an outrageous amount of money....we LOOOOOVE the cock apparently.

    I do think that in the heating-transition step that some part of the CO2 you made just simply dissolves into the water bubbler. Until the CO2 in water is saturated, it started producing dry ice.

    • @jackweaver1846

      You’re right, but since it was bubbled through at standard pressure, not much of the CO2 would have dissolved, at least not to make up a significant part of the yield loss.

      @WobblesandBean Před 4 lety +83

      Just think, how many hundreds of thousands of years went through the making of that diamond. Those gems were around to see countless species rise, rule, and fade into oblivion. They were around to see the continental plates grind and subduct into vast mountains, and the deepest, darkest ravines. They have borne witness to the very heartbeat of the Earth itself. Their lifespan is immeasurable to our puny, short human existence, and to dwell on it is awe-inspiring.
      .....And now they're a soda drink.
